Mikhail Bakunin
Anyone who makes plans for after the revolution is a reactionary.
Mikhail Bakunin
Theology is the science of the divine lie.
Mikhail Bakunin
We are materialists and atheists, and we glory in the fact.
Mikhail Bakunin
In every State, the government is nothing but a permanent conspiracy on the part of the minority against the majority, which it enslaves and fleeces.
Mikhail Bakunin
...one exploiting sect, one people of leeches, one single devouring parasite closely and intimately bound together not only across national boundaries, but also across all divergences of political opinion ... [Jews have] that mercantile passion which constitutes one of the principle traits of their national character
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
Christianity is the complete negation of common sense and sound reason.
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
If there be a human being who is freer than I, then I shall necessarily become his slave. If I am freer than any other, then he will become my slave. Therefore equality is an absolutely necessary condition of freedom.
Mikhail Bakunin
Everything that lives, does so under the categorical condition of decisively interfering in the life of someone else.
Mikhail Bakunin
I bow before the authority of special men because it is imposed upon me by my own reason.
Mikhail Bakunin
For ten centuries Christianity, armed with the omnipotence of the Church and State and opposed by no competition, was able to deprave, debase, and falsify the mind of Europe. It had no competitors, because outside the Church there was neither thinkers nor educated persons. It alone taught, it alone spoke and wrote, it alone taught.
Mikhail Bakunin
If there is a State, then there is domination, and in turn, there is slavery.
Mikhail Bakunin
That in order to achieve the triumph of liberty, justice and peace in the international relations of Europe, and to render civil war impossible among the various peoples which make up the European family, only a single course lies open: to constitute the United States of Europe
Mikhail Bakunin
There are but three ways for the populace to escape its wretched lot. The first two are by the routes of the wine-shop or the church the third is by that of the social revolution.
Mikhail Bakunin
By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible. Those who have cautiously done no more than they believed possible have never taken a single step forward.
Mikhail Bakunin
I am sure that, on the one hand, the Rothschilds appreciate the merits of Marx, and that on the other hand, Marx feels an instinctive inclination and a great respect for the Rothschilds.
